Funded by the HE Academy's NTFS project strand, this project confronts a fundamental issue for every HE course/programme leader: how to design an effective, efficient, inclusive and sustainable assessment strategy which delivers the key course/programme outcomes.
Focussing on programme level assessment, we redress the current imbalance where assessment issues are primarily investigated and discussed at module/unit level.
Assessment is both a major driver to student learning and significant source of student satisfaction/dissatisfaction. Currently, programme leaders cannot access suitable evidence-based guidance and exemplars/examples to develop and implement effective cross-programme or programme-based assessment strategies. This project will develop the appropriate evidence base and framework across a range of major subject disciplines.
Building on the extensive experience within partner institutions (including 2 assessment-focused CETLs), we will identify essential principles of programme-based assessment and use these to implement and test the effectiveness of programme assessment strategies.
